Blackpool youngsters hone their soccer skills at Stanley Park Festival
O
ver 60 football mad youngsters from schools across Blackpool converged on Stanley Park to try and sharpen up their burgeoning soccer skills as part of a special Early Years Football Festival. The pupils, all aged between 4 and 5, came from schools including Waterloo Primary School, Anchorsholme Primary School and Park School on Whitegate Drive for the special festival held at the Stanley Park Sports Hall. The event forms part of Sport Blackpool’s Early Start programme which aims to increase and promote opportunities for young children to be physically active. All of the schools were specially invited to take part in the event, with each bringing teams of ten pupils. The event included special coaching sessions for the 18
pupils, all aged between 4 and 5 years old, focussing on skills including dribbling, passing, shooting and goal keeping. The classes were run by Young Leader students from Lytham St Annes Sixth Form and Blackpool and the Fylde Colleges as part of their academic courses. All pupils were presented with a certificate at the end of the Festival. Councillor Graham Cain, Cabinet Secretary for Blackpool Council said: “This was an excellent event and a great opportunity for some of the youngest pupils at schools from across Blackpool to learn some great footballing skills at an early age, which will really help to develop their potential. “We’re delighted to be working with local schools in this way and it has also provided invaluable experience for the student coaches from Lytham St Annes Sixth Form College as part of their academic training.”
